精读原文:
The Neutrality of American in the Early World War II
The establishment of the Third Reich influencedevents in American history by starting a chain ofevents which culminated in war between Germanyand the United States. The compete destruction ofdemocracy, the persecution of Jews, the war on religion, the cruelty and barbarism of theNazis, and especially the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquestcaused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war.
While speaking out against Hitler' s atrocities, the American people generally favoredisolationist policies and neutrality.
The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them.In 1937 the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nationsat his discretion.
American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt' s "quarantine theaggressor" speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler' s policies.Germany's seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938)also aroused the American people.
The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March, 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace ofthe Third Reich. In August,1939 came the shock of the Nazi-soviet Pact and in September theattack on Poland and the outbreak of European war.
The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democraciesarrayed against the Third Reich. The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo andpermitted "cash and carry" exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defenseprogram was begun.
A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend Act (1941)authorized the President to sell, exchange, or lend materials to any country deemed necessaryby him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain by exchanging certainoverage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the WesternHemisphere. In August, 1940 President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issuedthe Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established afterthe war.
In December, 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at PearlHarbor.
Immediately thereafter, Germany declared war on the United States.
